Britain’s Kate and William play bandy during Sweden visit

STOCKHOLM — Britain’s Prince William and Duchess of Cambridge took a shot at bandy Tuesday to kick off a visit to Sweden and Norway – with William winning a penalty shootout in the game, a Swedish sport similar to ice hockey.

Kate, who is pregnant with her third child, was beaten in a penalty shootout by her husband when they joined a group of young Swedes playing the game on an outdoor ice rink in downtown Stockholm.
